It's just another "useless" attribute that the language has
added before fixing any of the real problems :)
Basically it reserves a symbol for the future.
It's similar to creating ex. an empty function that throws an
error or something like "Not implemented"
While I understand why it was added and what purpose it
serves then I fail to see why that was prioritized over
actual issues.
It's solving an almost non-existing issue.
I think the main reason it was added is because Sociomantic
asked for it, but they are of course not around anymore.
Off topic: what happened to them, out of curiosity?
IIRC they went out of business for inability to compete OR it was
consumed by a another advertising company, there was a thread on
a forum from Sonke about that event.
